Funnel cakes are great for a sugar high, but if you want something a little more substantial you might want to head to Sleepy Hollow at the Magic Kingdom and try the delicious and fulfilling Nutella and fresh fruit waffle sandwich. This snack is a thick freshly baked waffle covered with hazelnut nutella spread and topped with fresh vibrant fruit. That’s right, Mom and Dad, unlike most park snacks, this one has nutritional value. It’s a great snack for two or even a small meal for one.

Keeping with a patriotic theme today. How many stories is The American Adventure building?
If you guessed 5 then you are right. Wait; there are only 3 windows so how can the building be 5 stories tall??? It’s all forced perspective. Imagineers wanted the building to fit with the colonial architecture when buildings were never more than two/three stories. This is the opposite perspective than on Main Street USA where buildings that are only 2 stories tall are made to look like they are 3.
I can’t drive 55, err 7.5 mph. Did you know that when you slam that pedal to the metal on the Tomorrowland Speedway you are going a whole 7.5 mph!!! No, there are no cops on your tail so feel free to sit back and enjoy the ride but avoid the rail otherwise you will be bounced back and forth on the track.
Tomorrowland Speedway is one of the original attractions at Disney World opening in Oct of 1971. There are around 140 cars that can be used on the 4/10 mile track.
When Walt Disney World opened in 1971 it was missing one of the greatest attractions, Pirates of the Caribbean. Why was this? Well turns out the landlubbing Imagineers didn’t think that the Florida residents would take to a Caribbean attraction due to its proximity. Needless to say the guests didn’t think the same and demanded it.
After it’s introduction in 1973 it quickly became one of the most popular attractions at the park. But it was an E ticket t’ ride which cost 85 cents for adult and 75 cents per child, so start savin’ your nickels.
Today’s Hidden Mickey Monday is from Animal Kingdom, more specifically Conservation Station at Rafiki’s Planet Watch. This hidden Mickey is super easy to spot and right at kids eye level so it’s always fun to see how excited the kids get when they spot it. If you are at Animal Kingdom, be sure to take a little time out of your day and jump aboard the Wildlife Express Train and visit Conservation Station along with Affection Section. Here you get a look at animal care and behind the scenes activities required to keep the animals at Animal Kingdom healthy and happy. Oh and you can pet some goats too.
